Report DETAILS

In light of several recent small Improvised Explosive Device
(IED) and grenade attacks in various locations throughout Kenya (Nairobi,
Diani, Mombasa, and yesterday at a JKIA airport restaurant), the Embassy wishes
to remind U.S. citizens of the continued threat of potential terrorist attacks
in the country. Targets for these attacks could include nightclubs,
shopping malls, transportation hubs, religious institutions, government offices
or public transportation. Continue to exercise caution when traveling in
the country, maintain situational awareness, and practice good habits
surrounding personal security.

All U.S. citizens in Kenya are urged to register online at
the Smart Traveler Enrollment
Program (STEP). Registering gives U.S. citizens access to updated
information on travel and security within Kenya and makes it easier for the
Embassy to contact citizens in case of emergency.
